1
Q
What are Components?
A
Perpendicular parts into which a vector can be separated
2
Q
What are the two methods used to show direction of vector quantities?
A
Polar Coordinates Method and Navigator Method
3
Q
What does the Polar Coordinates method entail?
A
Direction will start on the positive x-axis and move counterclockwise
4
Q
What does the Navigator Method entail?
A
It starts at different directions of the axis rather than the positive x axis
5
Q
What does Non-Collinear mean?
A
Not along the same line
6
Q
What are the steps for Adding Non-Collinear Vectors?
A
Draw the 2 vectors to scale and then measure the resultant vector
